La Maison de Maître

On the banks of the River Lot, in the countryside of south-west France, just 90 minutes from Bordeaux and Toulouse, lies the idyllic village of Fongrave. Where rolling hills blend harmoniously with lush river valleys, punctuated by picturesque villages and perched bastides. The Lot & Garonne, named after the two main rivers that flow through it, has been dubbed France's "Tuscany" and is perfect for discovering the true French way of life, with its many weekly markets, cafés and restaurants, wine-tasting opportunities, antique fairs, boat trips along the rivers and river beaches.
